Please: How do you post an image from Flickr? OK I found the way to do it (use BBcode)

We've recently (no so for Canon) seen longer lenses introduced that have lower weight because of the use of a Fresnel type of glass element (PF at Nikon and DO at Canon). So why not suggest a XF100-400 f4 making use of that technology?

Ceci est une tulipe rouge by G. Sauvé, sur Flickr

Bonjour! I've started photography in early 80's with Nikon FE2 mainly to document my travel - due to cost. Digital photo revived my hobby in 2007 when I've bought a Nik D80 and 18-200. Since then it's been practice and self teaching on Internet and numerous books (love David Duchemin's philosophy). I'm from the province of Québec (.ca) and a new comer in Fuji system - I was looking to improve lens quality (f2.8) but with reasonable weight increase. Being with Nikon it was not possible so I've bought XT-1 GS with 16-55 and 50-140 just 2 months ago. Still have to get use to EVF and slower AF. But image quality wise I'm impressed. More and more I'm inlined to shoot B&W.

Thx Azmount. Guess what? I checked the Canadian website that has not been updated ...(http://www.fujifilm.ca/products/digital_cameras/accessories/pdf/mcex_01.pdf)

It appears Fuji website does not indicate what will be the maximum enlargement and working distance one would reach when coupling 11mm and 16mm extension tubes with the new XF-90mm and the 16-55mm zoom. Anyone knows the answer?
